Dining at Les Cypres is more than worthwhile. Be sure to reserve beforehand when you want to dine during weekends, it is the place to go for French expats for the 'cuisine merveilleux'. They have a good collection of the best Moroccan wines, and the food is fresh from the surrounding countryside. A must to visit if you like French cuisine with an exotic touch.

I've only ever been here for coffee and cakes which are excellent, if expensive.The menu looks fabulous and I shall have to come one evening or perhaps at lunchtime with business colleagues. The downside is its isolated position and lack of an alcohol licence. I am surprised at this latter as the food is typically French-style/international which would go really well with wine and a digestif afterwards. If I have a meal here, I'll do another review.The view in the photos is from the first floor terrace, it's better right at the top. I must say, even on a cloudy day like today, it is a really exciting view, watching the big waves rolling in.

I had wanted to come here for some time, but it's so far away from town that I had to wait for my friend with a motorbike to take me. In the teeth of a bitingly cold wind, we did the long trip down from El Jadida on a rather poor road before turning off to the main road the hotel and restaurant are situated in. We met the manager by chance at the gate of the property and he quickly said that my friend should put his bike inside the walls where it would be watched over. He then showed us around the whole place. The dining facilities are certainly vast and impressive and are located in more than one area and on more than one level. There's a Moroccan-type restaurant area under a permanent tented structure as well as the main building which has a large covered patio, an inside restaurant, a cafe space and an upstairs roof terrace with a fabulous view. Indeed, the view from where we ate, the patio, was impressive enough!We were brought some nibbles and shown the menu. This is my only criticism. For such a lavish place, the menu seems to be derived from a snack restaurant menu - emince de poulet/viande, pizzas, fried fish platter, grilled fish, quarter rotisserie chickens and so on but at a higher price than in town in the snack places. We had been told by the manager that the establishment was the equivalent of a four star accommodation, so I would have expected something more of a stab at a fine dining menu. I saw some leaflets for events that they held, however and it looks as if the food might be better at these. I ordered an entrecote and I knew that my friend would order the fried fish platter. We shared a mixed salad to start. The salad was fine, nothing to rave about. The fried fish was probably as good or better than could be had in a fish snack because it incorporated a couple of types of fish that would not be served there as well as the normal sole, prawns, calamari and whiting. My entrecote dish was good and there was the addition of some gratin potatoes with it as well as some nicely done vegetables. That was a welcome change from chips! The surroundings really are to die for and I can forgive them the slight disappointment about the menu. Nonetheless, the food was well cooked and presented. During the look round the premises, the manager said that they have arrangements with some of the local farms to ensure that their food is organic and that they don't get supplies from town at all. That's a praiseworthy initiative and an incentive for the reams of healthy eaters who visit Morocco nowadays. We took a coffee on the roof terrace. There is traffic noise to a certain degree from the road, but it is truly peaceful and the view even over the road is so beautiful. The grounds are laid out and maintained lovingly too.There is no alcohol licence and there will never be one as the premises have a mosque right inside the grounds. Even bringing one's own bottle to the restaurant would not be possible.We would come back to eat and also perhaps to make a day of it in the grounds with a group of friends when the nicer and warmer weather comes. We enjoyed our food here
